The Cast of SilentMode.tv

What makes SilentMode.tv distinctive is the various personalities behind the content: everybody has their role in this corner of the LEGO community, and together they’ve helped to establish a “culture”. Find out more about our cast by looking at their bios.

B. Bee

EvilMode’s street smart “homegirl”, who could be considered a polar opposite of Val.

While she is usually friendly and tactile with almost everybody, being around EvilMode encourages her to embrace her bold and reckless side, often becoming more wild than EvilMode himself. Before she met him she was unable to hold down a job, despite her outgoing nature, as she always felt she deserved better than working for “the man”. Her biggest goal is to open her own luxury night club, inspired by a night at the world-famous Bloxbury (now defunct).

B. Bee suffers from an unusual condition: she has the ability to use purple-coloured items with extreme skill and accuracy, but is clumsy with items of other colours. Her tool of choice is a purple submachine gun, conveniently hidden on her person.

Bumblebee Girl

The Bumblebee Girl is part of a tribe of anthropomorphic bumblebees that reside in deepest Silverwood, and are known for their “work hard, play hard” attitude. They were unknown to the outside world until the spring of 2014, when they ventured further afield to find pollen.

This particular Bumblebee Girl is very friendly and playful towards everybody, but has a habit of attracting male admirers; she cautions them that intimacy with her kind is fatal.

EvilMode

Probably the most well-known character of all from SilentMode.tv. EvilMode is the bold, outspoken and mischievous counterpart to The Sigfig: known for stealing vehicles, generally causing trouble, and most notably antagonising the residents of Heartlake City. He particularly enjoys teasing Stephanie (seen as being the most popular person in town) and Mia (for being a “tree-hugging” vegetarian).

EvilMode is actually a former Santa’s Helper, who aspired to progress through the ranks and eventually hold the title of Santa. Having devoted six years of service, he absconded upon realising he would never be promoted. A very loose retelling of his past was the subject of The EvilMode Movie: a biopic that became a box office hit, and propelled many other figures to stardom.

Being around the minidolls has had a calming effect on him, and his antics have become more playful than harmful – but his feud with Santa and his counterparts continues.

High School Dropout

A group of platonic friends were far more interested in pursuing a music career than being fed “useless” information at school: a fact constantly reflected in their report cards. They spent more and more time playing truant, using the time to practice playing instruments and write songs, until – much to the chagrin of the school – they collectively decided to drop out of high school altogether.
The pact cost them their relationships with their families, who promptly kicked each of them out of their homes, leaving them with no choice but to make their music career work.

After weeks of busking on the streets of Surething, they were eventually discovered by a talent scout for CATAWOL Records, and were signed to their standard one album contract. Limited rotation over the radio had built interest in the band, but it was their guest appearance at the Bloxbury (now defunct) that catapulted them to overnight success.

High School Dropout – named after their true story to stardom – became one of CATAWOL Records’ most successful signings, winning several awards and endorsements in the process. Their contribution to The EvilMode Movie won them an Emmet Award for Best Original Soundtrack.

Jasmine

Formerly (and commonly) known as the Jailbait.

Jasmine is an adventurous and disturbingly knowledgeable girl, who claims to be anywhere between 16 and 21 years old, depending on whom she’s talking to. You’ll often find her appearing from out of nowhere to deliver one-line innuendos, and usually carries a tasty yet suggestive food item.

Missy

Despite being a very pretty young woman, Missy was a librarian who led a solitary life, having no friends or anyone to turn to. People would pay no attention to her, although her job and love of reading made her the subject of ridicule in a digital world.

When a mysterious bumblebee tribe seemingly appeared out of nowhere, Missy became fascinated and spent all of her spare time researching them, using all of the resources at her library. Eventually her fascination turned to obsession: she actively sought them out, eventually being introduced to the Bumblebee Girl, who befriended her over time.
As her bond with the Bumblebee Girl grew stronger, people started to notice Missy for whom she was, to the point where she was finally being asked to hang out and go on dates – but remembering how they used to ignore and treat her, she became disinterested in everybody else.

Once invited to the bumblebee stronghold in deepest Silverwood, she was accepted by the bumblebee tribe, and with her wholehearted consent was made an honorary member. In time she will grow her own set of wings and become just like them.

Sabe DeMarco

Sabe is an actor turned chef turned actor-chef, known for his hot temper and misguided passion for everything he does. Many people remember him for his explosive run-in with the Chef, during his time as the proprietor of Saint Sabe’s Pizzeria in Surething (now defunct).

After the closure of his namesake restaurant, Sabe focused on rebuilding his acting career, which he did with limited success; one notable break came with a starring role in the cult horror movie See You Next Thursday.

Sigfig, The

The SIGnature FIGure, or Sigfig, rarely makes public appearances and hardly speaks; for various reasons he prefers to be behind the scenes, whether he’s busy with artistic and experimental endeavours (such as The EvilMode Movie) or working on housing and architectural projects within SMORE.

Although he isn’t very social, he receives a lot of respect from minidolls and minifigures alike. He credits the few commercial successes he’s had with his own projects to Val: his “life partner” and closest friend, who helps him with promoting his work.

Thanksgiving Couple

A married and childless couple from the sleepy rural town of Snowdonia, who can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. Whether in public, at Christmas parties or the privacy of their home, they always find some opportunity to “renew their vows”.

Val

Val is most commonly recognised as The Sigfig’s “life partner”, and is the social face of SilentMode.tv, often acting as The Sigfig’s spokesperson. In her own right she is the owner of SMORE: an architecture firm in downtown Surething, which specialises in affordable housing.

Her communication and managerial skills originate from a failed career in journalism, and as such she has a professional demeanour in and out of work.

WhiteMode

A member of the League of Modes, WhiteMode believes he’s the best thing since sliced bread. He’s convinced he’s a world-famous personality, and that everybody loves him – but is incredulous as to why people don’t immediately recognise him. In fact, most of the SilentMode.tv crew sees him as an annoyance.

After gatecrashing the annual Christmas party in 2014, he ruffled feathers by announcing he was going to “save” the site, by bringing in more visitors through his presence. Not only were the guests offended, but it led to the abrupt end of the party.

The only people who currently give WhiteMode the time of day are Stephanie and Val, with the latter trying to mitigate his actions around the others.

WhiteMode can occasionally be seen with Whitey, his faithful warg.

First appearance: Deleted scene from the 2014 Christmas party comic strip.
